Describe the content or mechanics you are proposing.
This suggestion is an extrapolation on a previous one and concerns a few different UI improvements that will make managing launch pads and distribution of resources much easier and more engaging.
As previously suggested, the ability to see what imports a sector is receiving from the stats screen, removing the need to manually tally up imports.
The ability to view and change a sector's export destination from the stats screen, allowing players to shift their distribution networks around without visiting planets and manually checking and retasking launch pads
A toggleable overlay on the planet screen that will show arrows representing resource streams, allowing players a bird's eye view of which sectors are exporting to where. (This would be the hardest feature to implement, but I think would be the best way to let players easily visualize their distribution network)
Describe how you think this content will improve the game. If you're proposing new content, mention how it may add more gameplay options or how it will fill a new niche.
All of these features would make it much easier to manage the distribution of resources around the map, requiring less micromanagement and providing more useful information. In addition, the distribution overlay would make it satisfying to set up a network of launch pads, since the fruits of a player's labor can be seen visually represented on the planet map, instead of abstractly.
